摘要:Ferraro, Pfeffer, and Sutton argue that the core basis for the dominance of economics lies in the institutionalization of the norms and language of economics. I argue that they externalize the blame for the failure of other social sciences, and I challenge the other social sciences to develop a research agenda that is capable of providing useful prescriptions to individuals. organizations, and society. I believe that internalizing the challenge, rather then externalizing the blame, is key to m...

摘要:I adopt a dyadic perspective to examine the role of social influence on individuals' fulfillment evaluation of shared psychological contracts. I address two research questions on individuals' referent choice and use of referent information and introduce a theoretical framework for categorizing promises. This framework, consisting of the domain and contestability of promises, is used to address the two research questions and predict the effects of referent information on individuals' fulfillmen...

摘要:We articulate a dynamic theory of media adaptation in dyadic influence. We identify key underlying attributes of media and discuss how individuals enact and regulate these features to use media adoptively within influence situations. Our model and propositions account for (1) the ways that attributes of communication media affect how influence-seeking behavior is generated and perceived and (2) the strategic adaptations of media that parties to organization-based influence attempts make.

摘要:I develop a theory of coordination for joint new product development projects conducted in strategic alliances. This theory identifies coordination gaps or mismatches between required and actual coordination that lead to performance problems. An evaluation of these gaps leads to specifying conditions under which coordination is easier for a project done in an alliance than for the same project done by one company. I also discuss what alliance managers can do to control the size of a project's ...

摘要:Foreignness is generally viewed as a liability for the multinational enterprise, negatively affecting strategic fit and the successful transfer of firm assets abroad. Using semiotics-the study of how language systems convey meaning-and the Walt Disney Company's experiences in internationalization, I develop the notion of semantic fit as a necessary complement to strategic fit and formalize a conceptual model of recontextualization-the process by which firm assets take on new meanings in distin...

摘要:As options models move from financial markets to corporate decision making, it is fitting to question the simple domain extension of option pricing theory by considering behavioral decision-making biases. We suggest, however, that, given the negative evolutionary consequences of ignoring optionlike investments, organizations invent heuristic rules to counter these biases. We propose the idea of a domain translation that shows how the basic insight of option pricing can be preserved through evo...

摘要:We describe a framework for understanding how age-related changes in adult development affect work motivation, and, building on recent life-span theories and research on cognitive abilities, personality, affect, vocational interests, values, and self-concept, identify four intraindividual change trajectories (loss, gain, reorganization, and exchange). We discuss implications of the integrative framework for the use and effectiveness of different motivational strategies with midlife and older w...
